The '''2017 Australian Grand Prix''' (formally known as the '''2017 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix''') was a [[Formula One]] [[motor race]] that took place on 26 March 2017 in [[Melbourne]]. The race was contested over fifty-seven laps of the [[Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit]] and was the first round of the [[2017 FIA Formula One World Championship]]. The race marked the 82nd race in the combined history of the [[Australian Grand Prix]] – which dates back to the [[1928 Australian Grand Prix|100 Miles Road Race of 1928]] – and the 22nd time the event was held at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit. The reigning [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|World Champion]] [[Nico Rosberg]] was the winner of the [[2016 Australian Grand Prix|2016 race]], but he did not defend his win as he retired from the sport after the 2016 season.<ref>{{cite news|last=Esler |first=William |url=http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12515/10212726/aus-report |title=2016 Australian GP: Nico Rosberg wins after Ferrari strategy error |work=skysports.com |date=20 March 2016 |access-date=26 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170310150625/http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12515/10212726/aus-report |archive-date=10 March 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/38185846|title=Nico Rosberg retires: World champion quits Formula 1 five days after title win|date=2 December 2016|publisher=[[British Broadcasting Corporation]]|language=en-GB|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161202143759/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/38185846|archive-date=2 December 2016|access-date=2 December 2016}}</ref>

====Driver changes==== Before the beginning of the third free practice session, [[Sauber]] announced that [[Pascal Wehrlein]] would not start the race. Wehrlein had sustained a back injury in an accident at the [[Race of Champions]] during the winter pre-season. Although Wehrlein was certified as fit to take part in the Grand Prix ahead of the first practice session, he withdrew as a precaution, citing the increased physical demands of the 2017 specification of cars and the lack of sustained running during pre-season testing as compromising his ability to complete a full race distance. He was replaced by [[Antonio Giovinazzi]] for the third session, qualifying and the race.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pascal Wehrlein not to start at the Australian Grand Prix|url=http://www.sauberf1team.com/news/pascal-wehrlein-not-to-start-at-the-australian-grand-prix|publisher=Sauber F1 Team|access-date=25 March 2017|date=25 March 2017}}</ref>

====Tyres==== [[Pirelli]] supplied the teams with ultrasoft, supersoft and soft tyres. Usually, teams are allowed to choose an individual selection of thirteen different sets for every driver. However, due to the selection deadline falling before the pre-season test when teams were first able to drive with the new compounds, Pirelli allocated every driver the same sets. These were seven sets of ultrasoft, four sets of supersoft and two sets of soft tyres.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pirelli announce tyre choices for Bahrain and Russia |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/headlines/2017/1/f1-pirelli-tyre-choices-bahrain-russia.html |work=Formula1.com |publisher=Formula One World Championship Ltd |date=11 January 2017 |access-date=28 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170310150803/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/headlines/2017/1/f1-pirelli-tyre-choices-bahrain-russia.html |archive-date=10 March 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
